Landon Donovan is already the United States' all-time leading scorer and now he might become the leading scorer in CONCACAF Gold Cup history. Former Mexican strike Luis Roberto Alves or "Zaguinho" was the tournament's all-time leading scorer with 12 goals in Gold Cup play, but Donovan equaled him in 2007 when he scored a penalty in the final. Now, he enters the 2011 tournament one goal away from becoming the outright leader in goals in CONCACAF's championship tournament.
USA Vs. Canada, Gold Cup 2011: Landon Donovan Trying To Set Gold Cup Scoring Record
Any betting man would have to put money on Donovan scoring a goal to become the all-time tournament leading goalscorer. The American has played in four previous Gold Cups, scoring in each and leading or co-leading the tournament in scoring twice. With the U.S. considered one of the two favorites to win the tournament, Donovan should get at least six matches to notch the record-setting goal, beginning Tuesday night against Canada and ending at the final on June 25, if the U.S. makes it that far.
